Casablanca - Bogart & Bergman

Casablanca Movie Mural

I did this mural a few years ago. I didn't have a painting to hang in this particular spot over an old trunk in my living room, so I painted this picture from a "Casablanca" movie poster. I used an opaque projector to blow it up a bit, and get the right proportions. Then I sketched a light outline and used some cheap acrylics to paint it. I want to do another mural, but I wanted to learn more about how they're done. That's how I found this website. I'll use some of the tips I've read about here.

The post was great. I have found that the best essays review are those that are genuine and in those forums. At least those are helpful and do not try to dupe you into using a certain service only to get shoddy work at the end of it all.

Here's lookin' at you kid.

Although the success of any portrait, on one level, hinges upon capturing a "likeness" of the sitter, what this mural points toward is the fact that such an idea is no longer simply a question of stylistic interpretation but is instead a wholly philosophical undertaking.

Here's lookin' at you kid!

Jake from the Bronx. I am also from da Bronx. I grew up at 231st Street and Broadway. Your mural looks good. Cheap acrylics work well. I use pre mixed ones in little bottles so I don't have to spend much time mixing them. Keep the brushes wet. Bill
